This is possible; if STONITH wasn't configured correctly, the crsd might
refuse to startup, and in turn, ha_fsd (the failsafe demon itself) would
refuse to start. The crsd log file should tell.

Something appears to be very strange here; could you show the dump of
"ifconfig" please?

You are seeing an error in ha_ifd ; you can start it manually and with a
higher loglevel or run it under gdb.
